Just to be clear, according to your "educative information" in the 17th Century, if a Catholic broke one of the then (ridiculous laws of the day) The British lawmakers didn't kill said Catholic, but just deported them to the West Indies.

Cruel yes, genocide, this isn't.

We burned more fucking suspected witches than apparently genocidal acts against the Irish.

I frequent conversation with German friends and Soldiers is why hasn't Germany built back up to their previous glory. Their training is awesome, discipline is much better than ours, their economy is arguably been much more stable. They seem still burdened by past sins.

Germany only reunified in 1990, and from the end of WWII to then the country was split in two opposing states (with foreign puppetmasters) right up to when the Wall came down.

The Germany as we know it today is still a "new" (barely 23 year old) unified republic, along with having a particularly terrible history of megalomaniacs running the country. It's a testament to its "mighty northern spirit" (to quote Tolkien), that the country even survived the 20th century in one piece.
